The fortune teller who set up a stall became the first strategist of the Republic of China

Recently, the Grand Commander has been busy with various meetings and affairs to promote the country's infrastructure and economic development plans. However, the lack of funds is like a huge mountain that stands in the way of national development, causing him to worry. Hearing that Gao Qingqiu is wealthy and enthusiastic about public welfare, the Grand Commander felt a glimmer of hope and decided to visit him in person to seek his help.

One day, the Grand Commander arrived at Gao Qingqiu's residence with several followers. Upon hearing that the Grand Commander was coming, Gao Qingqiu hurried out to greet him.

"Mr. Gao, I've heard a lot about you!" The commander-in-chief smiled and extended his hand enthusiastically.

Gao Qingqiu also responded with a smile: "It is truly an honor for my humble abode to have the Grand Commander come in person! Please come in."

The two sat down in the living room and exchanged a few pleasantries. The commander-in-chief's expression gradually became solemn.

"Mr. Gao, I came here today to ask for a favor. I'm sure you know that the country is now vigorously carrying out infrastructure construction, which is vital to the country's development and the happiness of the people. We plan to build more roads, bridges, and water conservancy facilities to promote economic exchanges and development in various places and improve people's livelihood. However, this requires a large amount of capital investment. At present, the Ministry of Finance has a large funding gap, which has affected the construction progress." The commander-in-chief said sincerely.

Gao Qingqiu frowned slightly, knowing that this was a thorny issue. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Commander-in-Chief, I wonder how much this funding gap is?"

The Commander-in-Chief sighed. "Preliminary estimates suggest it will cost at least tens of millions. We've considered various methods to raise funds, but the current situation is dire and it's truly difficult to gather them. Mr. Gao, I've heard that you've achieved great success in business and have accumulated considerable wealth. Furthermore, you've always been passionate about public welfare and care deeply about the country. Therefore, I've come here to implore you to lend this money to the Ministry of Finance to alleviate the country's urgent needs."

Gao Qingqiu stood up and paced around the living room, his hands behind his back. He was well aware of the importance of national development and understood that it was a matter of vital importance to the well-being of the people. However, such a huge sum of money was no small sum, and he needed to consider it carefully.

"Commander-in-Chief, I understand the urgency and importance of national construction. However, these tens of millions of funds are not something I can come up with in a short period of time. Moreover, the capital turnover in business also needs to be considered." Gao Qingqiu looked embarrassed.

The commander-in-chief quickly said, "Mr. Gao, I know this is a big request. But if the country can successfully advance these construction projects, the future development prospects will be limitless. Not only will people's lives be greatly improved, but the business environment will also be more prosperous, and there will be more opportunities and benefits for you and your company."

Gao Qingqiu stopped and looked at the commander-in-chief, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. "Commander-in-chief, I understand everything you say. Although I, Gao Qingqiu, am a businessman, I also understand that every citizen has a share of responsibility for the success or failure of a nation. Since the country is in trouble, I will do my part."

The commander-in-chief showed a look of surprise in his eyes: "Mr. Gao, do you mean to say you agree?"

Gao Qingqiu nodded. "Yes, I agree to lend the money to the Ministry of Finance. However, I also hope that these funds can be truly used for national construction, ensuring that every penny plays the greatest role."

The Grand Commander excitedly stood up and shook Gao Qingqiu's hand tightly. "Mr. Gao, thank you so much! You have made a great contribution to the country! On behalf of the country and the people, I express my sincere gratitude to you. Don't worry, these funds will be used for their intended purpose. We will formulate a detailed construction plan and fund utilization plan to ensure that each project is completed with high quality."

Gao Qingqiu smiled and said, "That's good. I also hope to see the country's economy flourish and the people live a happy life driven by these infrastructure projects."

In the days that followed, Gao Qingqiu actively raised funds and, as agreed, loaned a large amount of gold to the Ministry of Finance. These funds were quickly invested in infrastructure construction across the country. Roads began to be built, bridges were erected across rivers, and water conservancy facilities were also under intensive construction.

As construction projects gradually progressed, the nation's economy began to show signs of recovery. Convenient transportation boosted commercial prosperity, smoothed the flow of goods, and increased economic exchange across regions. These improvements to infrastructure also made people's lives more convenient, with more job opportunities and rising incomes.

Gao Qingqiu's heroic act not only solved the nation's funding challenges but also earned him the praise and respect of the people across the country. His reputation and influence were further enhanced at the national level, making him a role model for patriotism and a business legend. This also laid a solid foundation for his future role in the nation's economic development.
